The physical and mechanical properties of German Angora rabbit fiber obtained from the Northeast region India were studied. fineness, staple length, diameter, medullation overall fleece 0.22 ± 0.04 tex, 09.10 2.21 cm, 23.5 1.04 µm, 85.46 1.23%, respectively. cross-sectional shape was found elliptical to oval, average tenacity, breaking elongation, specific work rupture, initial modulus 24.78 11...

In this paper, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of plain knitted fabrics made from 20Ne cotton yarns, Coolmax yarn and their combinations in wet, relaxed and stretched states were studied. According to the fiber composition, fabric samples are divided into three groups including Group I (single cotton yarn), Group II (cotton/cotton combination) and Group III (Coolmax/cotton combination) ...

In this study, the effects of yarn parameters, on the bursting strength of the plain knitted fabrics were examined with the help of artificial neural networks. In order to obtain yarns having different properties such as tenacity, elongation, unevenness, the yarns were produced from six different types of cotton. In addition to cotton type, yarns were produced in four different counts having th...

The variations in the mechanical and surface properties of cotton ringand OE rotor-spun yarns on exposure to different chemicals during wet processing have been studied. It is observed that the structure and yarn twist are the dominant parameters in determining the accessibility of chemicals during wet processing. The most distinct outcome of alkaline scouring of cotton yarns, in comparison to ...

Fibre blend should be composed regarding the requirements and allowable price of the textile end product. Using the appropriate raw material and optimised fibre blends we can influence the mechanical properties and regularity of a yarn as well as significantly reduce the number of yarn faults. The contribution presents a study of the influence of quality characteristics of cotton fibres and con...

Selection of cotton fibers in terms their quality value has created a domain emerging interest among the researchers. In this study, newly developed Best-Worst Method (BWM) was integrated with Revised Analytic Hierarchy Process (RAHP) to rank fiber lots on basis six apposite properties namely bundle tenacity, elongation, micronaire, upper half mean length, uniformity index, and short index. Ran...

This study was carried out to determine the best ring size for a certain yarn count. In frame with three separate rings of varying sizes, 20s/1 kW created. The spinning method used same speed, twist, traveller, and spacer but distinct diameters 38 mm (Ring- A), 40 B), 42 C). Then, under testing conditions, ten samples each were examined by Uster Evenness Tester (UT-6) compared one. “Ring- C″ pr...

Fiber structures, yarn structures, and mechanical properties of fibers namely tensile modulus, tenacity, and elongation, are the key performance indicators of fabric cut resistance. p-aramid and UHDPE (Ultra High Density Polyethylene) based high performance fibers are most commonly used for protection against mechanical risks. Specially engineered composite yarns and fabrics enhance cut resista...
